HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 400,481, dated April 2, 1889.

Application filed Cl'ulyy 23, 1888. Serial No. 280,704. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW S. PHELPS, `a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a speciiication, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings, and the letters and figures of reference thereon, forming a part of this l specification, in whichd Figure lis a side elevation of the stove. Fig. 2 is a central vertical elevation of the stove. Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional view, taken on line 3 of Fig. l, looking down. Fig. 4 is a horizontal cross-sectional view, taken on line 2 of Fig. l, looking1 down. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the fingered plate for protecting the lower side of the opening in the dome leading to the downflue. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of said plate; and Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the dome of the stove, showing the damper covering the opening in its upper part leading to the exitline.

Referring to the drawings, theV lire-pot I-I, grate G, and base J are of the ordinary construction.

D is a cast-iron dome forming the combustion-chamber, the base of which dome rests in an annular channel in the ring R, resting on the top of the fire-pot; or, if desired, said annular chamber may be formed in the upper part of the lire-`pot. Said channel is Wide and deep enough to hold an accumulation of ash to prevent the escape of gas and smoke between thedorne and Iirepot or the influx of air to injure combustion.Y Said dome is provided at the front part with a feed-opening closed by a door, C, and an opening, O, at the back opposite thefeed-opening leading to the downue E, leading around the base J, and

y to the upfiue F, which Iiues E and F are separated by the partition P', which turns to one side at its upper end and closes the up per end of flue E, as shown in Fig. 2. Said dome is so connected with the stove that itis free to contract and expand within its seat in' ring R, and so arranged as to leave the ing at the back in its upper part and above the line of the upper part of the feed-door, which opening is provided with an ordinary damper, d, as shown inv Figs. 2 and 7, and which opening leads to the direct upiiue F, and is intended to be opened when the feed- 6o 'door is open to prevent escape of gas when feeding the stove.

V is a iingered protecting-plate designed to rest loosely astride the bottom part of the opening O in the dome leading to the down- 6 5 iiue, for the purpose of protecting the parts it covers from the heat and preventing fuel from falling over into said flue. This protecting-plate, by being loosely iitted in said opening, can be easily replaced when destroyed by the heat.

B is an ornamental frame forming the outer case of the stove above theiire-pot and surrounding` said dome, and is provided with small openings or perforations for permitting radiationof heat from said dome.

. Having thus described my inventioinivha claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit- In the stove shown and described, the conical-shaped dome D, forming the combustionchamber and having a front feed opening or door, an opening leading to the indirect downiiue E, opposite the feed-opening, and a direct-'draft opening above said downfiue-opening, leading to the upflue F and controlled by a, damper, in combination with the perforated fraine B, surrounding said dome, ring R, having the annular channel for dome D to rest in, fire-pot H, having a grate, downue E, and upflueF, arranged to leave the air space g between it and said dome, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
